I just bought the Quadzilla tuner with a new fuel sensor from DAP. I noticed that there's a brass valve that came with the fuel sensor, but I haven't looked at it enough to know what it's for yet.

 

I've only ever installed and used the Edge Juice with Attitude on my Cummins pickups, so this is a totally new and foreign tuner to me.

 

I'll be removing my older (most likely first generation - silver display and smaller screen) Edge Juice w/Attitude tuner that is currently on my pickup when I bought it last December and installing the Quadzilla. I plan to hopefully install it with the module in the cab if possible to minimize any Bluetooth issues with my Android tablet that I will be using with it. Is the stock tune good enough to start out with?

 

My engine is stock with the HX35 turbo and NV5600 trans with aftermarket clutch setup, except for S&B air filter system, AFE intake horn, 4" full exhaust, and 100 HP DAP SAC injectors. I'm installing a new Fel Pro headgasket, XOTIC head studs, and new NAPA t-stat just as soon as I get my head back from the machine shop either tomorrow or Friday. 

 

I was thinking of installing some gauges on the left a pillar so that I can monitor boost, trans temp, etc., but wanted your thoughts on this setup, and any advice as to where to start with tuning on the Quadzilla, or if someone already has a tune that will work with my mods and trans.

I created a new profile and now I see the settings to modify :-)

 

I have settings set like posted above and then 13, 19, 23, 27, 29.

 

On the Boost Level fueling Canbus do I start at 95% for 0 psi and work up in % for each psi column, and then 125% is in the 10 psi column?

The Quadzilla will get its boost reading from the ECM from the comport.  From what I understand it’s not to accurate. I’ve never compared the two.

 

They are within a psi or 2 for my truck, but after 30 psi it becomes a crap shoot.

 

@01_Cummins_4x4, if you swipe the screen right to left you can find 2 other gauge layouts, then tap that up arrow on the bottom center of your photo and add all the info you want the quad to provide. 

 

Follow @Me78569's tuning guide to find your starting percentage. I don't know where it went though..  

 

Best to have stand alone gauges that don't rely totally on the stock sensors. Being above about 25 PSI on my truck it starts to vary. By the time you hit 50 PSI on a boost gauge vs 69 PSI shown by the Quadzilla. That's a +19 PSI error. The stock MAP sensor is only good to about 25 PSI and then the error starts to show. 

Where at in the Quadzilla settings do I turn on the high idle functionality?

 

It was 28 deg this morning and it would've helped it warm up faster.

 

Settings

 

Warmup mode setting

 

High idle delay

 

What is the typical high idle delay setting set at?

 

Leave warm up mode set at 120 F?

 

Does the Adrenaline need to be set on PL 00 for the high idle and warmup mode to work?

 

Thanks!!!

I have my warm up set to 160°F with the delay at 45 seconds.

 

It will auto set to PL0 on a cold start, then revert to last power level prior to cold start. 

 

Its up to you for how you want it set up. I set mine longer so it has time to circulate oil before ramping up, and so it doesn't happen at stop lights.. Happened a couple times before I went really far with the time.

My truck has an Auto, so I had it even worse!  I'd be trying to navigate leaving a parking spot, just idling then all of a sudden BAM!  Almost smacked a couple of vehicles, but learned to blip the throttle once before actually putting the truck in gear.

I'm set for 30 second delay and set for 140F warm up temp. Come winter time I disable the Quadzilla and go back to my own high idle system because 3 CYL and an exhaust brake is even faster.

Unfortunately I don't have an exhaust brake, but wish I had one. 

EGTs of different modes.

 

6 CYL high idle 300 to 350

3 CYL high idle 600

6 CYL high idle and exhaust brake 650

3 CYL high idle and exhaust brake 900

My high idle hasn't worked right since I got it, but its the dealerships fault. I can see the values changing when switching between modes, but after sitting for over 3 minutes, no high idle while all the way over in 3cyl. I think the tech didn't actually make the selection on the page. Bit salty about that. Maybe this year I'll get around to it...

That's what happened to me, had it activated at the dealer when I ordered the switch, installed and nothing happened.  I went back to the dealer ship and they plugged it in only to realize they had unlocked the high idle function but forgot to enable it.  At least that time I had the switch so I was able to test it before I left.
